"Harvard's top astronomer lays out his controversial theory that our solar system was recently visited by advanced alien technology from a distant star"-- In late 2017 scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed an object soaring through our inner solar system, moving so quickly that it could only have come from another star. Loeb showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and left no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization.

The guest here is Avi Loeb: Harvard astrophysicist, former chair of Harvard's astronomy department and founding director of its Black Hole Initiative. He leads the Galileo Project searching for interstellar objects and alien technology, and authored the books Extraterrestrial and Interstellar. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb argues interstellar object 3I/Atlas shows anomalies that may signal alien technology, and science is too cowardly to look.

The guest here is Avi Loeb: Harvard astrophysicist, astronomer, and cosmologist who has authored over 800 papers and eight books. He chaired Harvard's astronomy department for nine years and famously argued the interstellar object Oumuamua may be an artifact of an alien civilization. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb argues Oumuamua may be alien technology and that science must chase anomalies instead of fearing them.
